Beaulieu of America introduced their first dealer interactive website back in 1999 and recently completed a major restructuring of the site.  It is one of the most user friendly web applications available to dealers.  The new design was created to provide an information system for busy people who do not have time to learn a complicated process.  Users can manage their accounts 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  For these users, Beaulieu is always open.  Here are some of the outstanding features of this new system:

The floor is then coated with TyKote a chemical which allows Basic’s industry leading finish StreetShoe to be applied to most any type of finish from waterbased to oil, aluminum oxide to industrial type finishes.
